    Lev Praha have won the series 4 games to 2, and they will face Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the Western Conference Final, with game 1 going in Prague on Wednesday.

    What a game here in Donetsk. Donbass's season is over, but their fans, grateful for the chance to watch them play one last time after an extended period away, give them a huge ovation for a great season.

    It was quite a series between two evenly-matched team, but in the end, Lev was just a little bit better, and are the deserving winners.

    Ondrej Nemec scored the only goal of this game on a third-period power play, and Atte Engren made 20 saves for the shutout in just his second KHL playoff game. (21:23:47)
